Everyone in the alley was crying or close to it. Everyone new what was going to happen to Buffy Summer’s. She was dying. She lies there bleeding on the concrete alleyway. An unknown attacker had thrown a knife and it had hit her. Obviously, it did what it had intended to do. The knife was still in her.
Angel sat there, paler than usual, holding her hand as Giles worked on getting the knife out. “Just pull, Giles”, she said in pain as her face looked ashen. Giles had sweat on his brow and tears in his eyes. “Buffy I-“ he stopped when she said, “Please”. She tightened her grasp on Angel’s hand as Angel wiped a hair that had gotten stuck to her face away from her eyes. He also tightened his grip on her hand.
“What do you mean your going as fast as you can if you were you’d be her my now!” Cordelia yelled into her cell phone, looking worried and angry. “SHE’S DYING!” she yelled and then realized what she said and looked around at everyone who stared at her. Her eyes widened, “I’m sorry,” she said. She then moved toward Xander who stood there while slowly tears fell down his face. Behind her Willow stood in a sort of comatose as Oz held her. “Oh god” he said as he looked around at the scene.
Giles held his gaze in Angel’s for a second, as if they were communicating. Then Giles looked down at Buffy, “Buffy I’m going to try to pull it out of you and Angel’s going to have to stop the bleeding, so you’ll have to let go of his hand”
“No” Buffy rasped, this time the tears that bravely wouldn’t come now fell. “Please, hold my hand”
Willow seemed to come out of her comatose, “I’ll hold your hand Buffy”
Buffy shivered, “I’m cold” she said.
Everyone traded glances with each other; tears now fell freely down Willow’s face. Everyone knew what that meant; Buffy would be dead if they didn’t help her. If they couldn’t do something. Willow walked over to Buffy as Angel moved over.
Angel let go of Buffy’s hand and kissed her on the forehead. Tears came down at this gesture. “I love you,” she said to him and tears, tears that she had never seen in him, welled up in his eyes.
“Don’t cry” she urged him, and then looked around at the rest of them. “I cant-“ she stopped and just let it go. Willow grasped her hand and looked down at her best friend, its all right, doesn’t even explain it, she couldn’t say that. It wasn’t all right, because you usual say that when you know what will happen next. Willow didn’t know what was going to happen next. Dread and grief filled her. My best friend could die.
Willow shook that thought away as Buffy, inhaled, as Giles got ready to pull the knife out…
